Based in Hong Kong, Hora is responsible for maximising the value of new business derived from traditional agency channels as well as alternative channels including bancassurance and advisors, in all of AXA Asia LifeÆs eight markets, namely China, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore and Thailand.
Hora also focuses on expanding AXA Asia LifeÆs distribution network in its new markets of India and Malaysia and growing the agency force in the other markets. This includes the development of best practice distribution models and common distribution platforms, as well as the creation of a regional distribution centre.
